[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16680784, member: 117234"] Did you drill a hole in the basket? People used to run into the exact same problem with the old focus pump in the GT basket at around 375, Myself included. The 01 cobra setup is the same. If you look at the basket you'll notice that the pump is mostly fed through a rubber captured check valve on the bottom. Because of this the pump sucks the basket dry and it then starves. What I ended up doing is drilling a 1/2 inch hole in the front of the basket 1-2 inches up from the bottom. I chose the front because during acceleration it would force fuel into the basket. You can upgrade the pump all you want but you'll never overcome the flow limitation of the check valve. And no the basket is not always fully submerged, especially below 1/2 tank. Even at 3/4 full there isn't enough fuel above the basket to flow in through the top to supply the pump. [/QUOTE]
